Peter, just to expand on your remark, it should be straightforward to integrate
a twitter-api search thingy into the Wordpress workflow or that of other
similar CMS, to provide some control over content published on a corporate
website. By all means publish the social content, just weed out the irrelevant,
silly or gnarly stuff.

Its pretty easy to build a widget, from fetching the results, parsing them, and
presenting them, twitter makes it easy to do.
With all that extra time, your developers should be able to find global stop
lists of words that prevent displays of harassing/vulgar/racist language and
continue to add rules as you go to create a content stream that works for your
company.
Don't get me wrong, Ken's points are very valid, however, I personally feel if
you have a company people talk about, show other people this content. 1 page of
perfectly written marketing isn't going to reach me as much as 10 tweets
saying, I really really love this product. (imo)
Regards
Peter

Hi,
I don't know anything about Wordpress or plugins, but is there any moderation
workflow built into these widgets? I just had to cringe at the silly results
produced by the indiscriminate use of a twitter search feed by one colleague
from a highly respectable international organisation. It's not a matter of
censoring negative remarks about your brand - evidently you are prepared for
that. But what happens when someone says something really, really dumb, vulgar
or racist involving your searchterm? Can you handle all the world's languages?
It could be a fun opportunity for spammers or competitors! Even assuming that
your brandname is universally unambiguous and could only ever refer to your
business, you may be in for a case of 'irrelevant automated content syndrome'.
Have fun!
